i so agree that interests and hobbies do change over time. i guess as we go through life, we change depending on the things we experienced.[em]thumbup[/em] i am the direct opposite of you. about 14 years ago, i was planning to get married and start a family. however, when the time really came, i could not bring myself to say yes as i realised it's really not what i want. i am thankful i had ...

i have ridden a cable car a couple of times in my life. the first time i rode a cable car was when i was in hong kong. it's the cable car inside of the ocean park. i was so frightened that i spent more of the time looking at the ceiling of the car.[em]lol[/em] the second time i took a cable car was going up to genting highlands. it's a more scary ride but i guess i was more brave already. at...

to me, success means achieving what i've set out to do. it depends on what you really want in life.[em]angel[/em] to me, being happy is all that i've ever wanted in life. i am lucky that it takes just little things to make me happy. a good book, a great meal, seeing new sights and spending time with my loved ones all makes me very happy. all these does not cost much yet brings an immense amo...

well, this is quite a difficult scenario. on one hand, we have you, someone who appreciates every little thing someone else does for you. on the other hand, we have adrian, someone who wishes he can do more for you. my answer will really depend on who's side i am on.[em]wink[/em] if i were you, i'd have done the same thing. i'd have said no to things i don't feel i need. but if i were him, i...

yes the location of my hotel is important to me. when i visit bangkok, i make sure i stay in this area called pratunam as my favourite places are around. the food stall i love is just round the corner[em]drool[/em] and the shopping centres are within walking distance. anywhere else we will just take a taxi. sometimes it's cheaper to travel by taxi when there are two or more persons compared to ...

i don't go shopping every week. in fact, i rarely shop unless i really need new clothes.[em]happy[/em] however, i don't feel i need another top or another pair of shoes. even though i have quite a lot of clothes, i find that i wear the same ones over and over again.[em]blush[/em] i feel more comfortable in some of them and only wear the rest if i am in the mood.[em]cheering[/em]

my girl has been with me for the past thirteen years. i think she is about 66 years old in human age. she has never been allergic to anything and we did not introduce anything new in her environment. this is why i was rather skeptical of the allergy diagnosis.[em]confused[/em] i'm praying really hard now that it is just a lung infection and is clearing up with the medication. it will be a re...

hi svenlee, thanks so much for your kind words. at this current moment, i am going to need all the luck i can get.[em]angel[/em] vet visits are not the cheapest thing. worst, we don't have pet insurance in our part of the world.[em]angry[/em] every visit costs around USD300 coz of the blood tests and xrays. i would spend any amount of money just to make sure my girl is fine. but it's really get...

I am from Singapore so it's rather affordable for us to visit Bangkok. I try to visit it once a year as I really love the place. My favourite area is Pratunam, which is a clothing wholesale area. You can see people from all over the world there because the clothes there are cheap if you buy in bulk.[em]thumbup[/em]
